Oct. 29 — (United Press)— Better and stronger railroads rather than more railroads is the country’s need. L. W. Baldwin, president of the Missouri Pacific and official of other southwestern railroads, declared to- I day at the special interstate comment committee hearings here on the application of western ra lroads for a five per cent increase in freight rates. Present revenues are not sufficient to permit the railroads to strengthen their roads, Baldwin said. Money is needed for new equipment and betterments. he testified. A better margin of earnings Is needed to put the railroads in a position to meet emergencies, he said. The Misouri Pacific system passenger revenue during 1924 was $1,300,000 less than in 1923, Baldwin testified. So far this year th .re has been a drop of $S 30,000 in passenger revenue over the co responding period last year, he testified. i; During the next ten years the sysCm must spend approximately $250,-I 000,000 for maintenance and the con- ■ sruction of new terminals, the witness said. The contemplated expenditures em-' phasizes the need for more profits, he held. Bus and truck lines cut In on the short haul business of the system, . Baldwin declared. Many of these motor vehicle lines go broke, but they , force the railroads to compete with them just the same. Taxes leaped from $19,000,000 in ] 1921 to $24,000,000 in 1924, he said. ’ o Record Attendance Is Expected At Stock Show Advance Indications are that all records will be smashed at the twentysixth anniversary session of the International Live Stock Exposition which will be held in Chicago, November 28 to December 5, according to Secretary-Manager B. H. Heide. He reports that never before in the long and illustrious history of this show has there been so much enthusiasm shown by both exhibitors and prospective visitors. More than ten thousand of the finest horses, cattle, sheep and swine will be entered in the numerous contests to strive for supreme honors at this acknowledged “Supreme Court of the RESULTS THAT LAST Proven by Decatur People Thousands of kidney sufferers' have tried remedy after remedy with ony temporary benefit That’s mighty discouraging!

Farrell, United Press Sports Editor) New York. Oct. 29 —(United Press) sons could have been learned by the major league club owners in the late world’s series if they are interested in the future of baseball and want to keep the game above criticism. There is nothing seriously wrong with baseball if there is anything wrong at all. The game is being played well and administered well. There was no scandal during the 1925 season and the world's series was the best ever seen. But there are dangers ahead that need safeguards and the most important of them is the commercial evsl as it pertains particularly to the world’s series. Too much money is becoming Involved in the world’s series. As long as there are from 35,000 to 40,000 fans w’ho are willing to pay more than SIOO,OOO to see one game between the champions of the National and American Le&gues and as many more Who would attend if there was room for them, the owners of the champion clubs cannot be

criticized for taking the money. If the fans want to pay more than a million dollars to see a series for the world’s championship, the magnates would be poor business men if they did not capitalize on the opportunity. Rut therein lies the danger Baseball is becoming too much of a business. It is becoming a game lof getting the money, played both by the club owners and the players. The closest scrutiny did not dis close that there were any reasons for the seven games in the last series other than neither the Pirates nor the Senators were able to win until the series had gone the limit. Yet. you could hear fans around the hotels in Washington and in Pittsburgh expressing the opinion early in the series, when it looked like the Senators were a cinch to win in five games, that the series would go the limit of seven games. “How they can turn down more than $200,000 for two more games’” it was asked. No one would dare say that the Senators did not try to win the series in straight games. The players are allowed to share In the receipts of only four games and it is quite certain that they were eager to get the thing over with as soon as possible. s<o«t o* the players, figuring that Jar feeling of loyalty or duty toward
